Will the ignorance never stop?

The only way to positively guarantee that no child is ever injured at school is to ban schools.

Good Lord, we used to play smear the queer in my parents' front yard with a cement walkway in it, a cement sidewalk, brick flower beds running the length of the house, trees in the yard, and tree roots sticking up through the ground. Yeah, people got hurt once in a while, but I wouldn't trade the memories for not getting hurt every once in a while. Heck, I remember riding my bike in the street in front of the house, getting my front wheel cut off by my brother, and pretty much doing a summersault (sp.) into the back of my dad's dump truck. I remember riding on the back of a big wheel that my brother was driving down a huge hill, him hitting the brake, which caused the big wheel to fish tail, me flying off into the street and getting one heck of a cut on my knee, and my mom beating me when I went home with the cut.
My mom is the kind of mom that would want dodge ball and everything else outlawed. I cannot tell you how many times my mom wanted to divorce my dad because he was supporting my cycling, which resulted in some serious crashes and a hospital visit, yet I loved the sport and still do. I wouldn't change anything. If the child is scared of the contact, let him stay home or not play. If he gets a black eye, bluddy lip, dislocated shoulder, etc., that is part of life. Let it heal and get on with it. As far as the lawsuit issue is concerned, I think that is pathetic. Even if an activity is supervised, accidents happen so quickly that there might be nothing the "recess monitor" could have done to prevent it. This just makes me sick. Too many laws and rules in our society, and probably because there are way too many attorneys and society is getting way too complicated.

What about good old games of "kill da man wif da football"? Ya know one poor ignorant sap grabs the balls and the rest of us do our best to tear him a new one. . . . then when in a fit of pain and broken bodyparts he drops the ball somebody else picks it up and ya start all over. . . . . . .
Ya know why I didn't play football in school? Because every weekend me and a half dozen or more cousins would get together and play full contact football, no pads no nothin. . . . Just us in a mowed yard hittin at full tilt. Had one cousin who chipped a tooth, and more than once I wound up bitin my tongue or jaw. . . . man those where the good old days. GoodOlBoy

My brother had his front tooth knocked out during a soccer game when he and another guy went up for a header at the same time. My dad shoved the tooth back into the hole and it remains there to this day.

GOB- I played high school football and the games we played on the weekend without pads were ten times rougher than real organized football. You get hit harder and have no pads.

I'm planning on going out with a group of guys here from work to play some tackle football over the weekend and already informed my wife that she'll most likely be assisting me in putting my jacket on me in the mornings for about the next week.
 Oh it will be fun though playing against some of these smartmouthed, trash-talking punks. I agree that sandlot tackle football makes the organized crap look like tittilie wings.

My Boy Scout Troop used to meet in my elementary school ......
The best times we had were the times we played Buck-Buck or British Bulldog! Got almost as rough as tackle football-without-pads.
Actually, I did that last one only once as a sophomore in college. Was soooo sore for the next week. I agree ...... Let's ban public schools and their very idjit career educators! Kind of makes home-schooling not look so bad.

Its all the fault of greedy parents, and greedy lawyers. If we don't get tort reform in America, the lawyers will bury us all.
